What we are called out for in Tibthorpe
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone

How we handle bath resealing in Tibthorpe
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tibthorpe as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tibthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Tibthorpe
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Common questions in Tibthorpe
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
